Description
Origins of the Tribe is a two-piece wall panel set moulded in hand-made textured fibreglass. Every curve, symbol and motif carved into the surface evokes the essence of tribal identity: eyes that watch over generations, masks that embody spirit, and patterns that echo rhythm, song and ceremony. Assembled across both panels, the piece measures 300cm wide by 270cm high and covers 8.10 square metres, giving you a substantial run of carved detail to work with on a single wall.
This set suits large open rooms where a full wall is free to hold it, such as a living room, a dining space or a studio. It works well for anyone drawn to sculptural wall art with a cultural narrative, and for those who prefer texture and relief over flat printed pieces. The scale rewards a room with distance to view it from, so the carved eyes, masks and patterns can be read as a whole rather than up close.
The two panels are cast in hand-made textured fibreglass, which keeps the weight manageable relative to the size while holding crisp carved detail. The full set weighs 71 kg, so we recommend fixing each panel to a solid wall using appropriate heavy-duty fixings suited to your wall type. Clean by dusting with a soft dry cloth, and wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth if needed, avoiding harsh chemicals. For styling, pair the panels with warm low lighting angled across the surface so the relief casts shadow and the carved motifs stand out.

Frequently Asked
What is this wall art made from?
Both panels are made from hand-made textured fibreglass. This keeps the weight lower than solid cast alternatives while holding the carved detail across the surface.
How do the two pieces go together?
The set is designed as two panels that sit side by side to form the full 300cm wide by 270cm high design. We suggest planning the layout on the floor first so you can set the spacing before fixing.
How should I fix it to the wall?
Fix each panel to a solid wall using heavy-duty fixings suited to your wall type. The full set weighs 71 kg, so the wall and fixings need to carry that load safely. If you are unsure, we recommend a professional fitter.
How do I clean the panels?
Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. For marks, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaning chemicals, as these can affect the finish.
How much wall space do I need?
Assembled, the set covers 8.10 square metres and spans 300cm wide by 270cm high. Choose a wall with clear space around that footprint so the design reads properly and the panels are not crowded.
